Ice Nights

“ICE NIGHTS” is a fusion of dance and theatre – a work about power, human fragility, and desire, based on “ICE" by Anna Kavan. Playwright Amanda Ginman – a Reumert Award winner for “Dark Spring" – and award-winning choreographer Tina Tarpgaard join forces in a work where dance, text, and sound merge into an intense and physical portrayal of darkness.

A psychological drama set in a universe frozen in misogyny and climate catastrophe. In a world covered in ice, an unnamed male narrator pursues a mysterious woman – but she constantly escapes him. He shapes his own reality and moves through the world driven by a mix of fascination, desire, jealousy, and a violent urge for control. The longer he chases the woman, the more reality and fantasy begin to blur – and fracture. It is like a nightmare one cannot wake from. But is he her saviour?

“ICE NIGHTS” is nightmarish sci-fi, 1960s road-movie nostalgia, and psychedelic dream logic – a hypnotic journey through obsession, power, and downfall.
